How are an mri and a cat scan different?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both show anatomy: Both ct and MRI show anatomy. Ct does this be imaging differences in density, and MRI by looking at differences in the number hydrogen atoms in a region (proton density) and the local environment they are in. Both are very good, but MRI is better for looking at soft tissues.
